What sequel set do you actually find to be good? Previous: >>11646434
>>11655130don't forget that kylo's ship wasn't even correctdisney was being stingy about 'leaks' and gave lego outdated/ incorrect info when they were licensing the sets the set's wings are straight up and down, while in the film they angle outwards
>>11655134to be fair, toy makers need about a year's head start and designs might not be finalized when the toy company gets the drawings.A movie isn't finalized until a couple of months before release, so CGI will be finished around the time merch is starting to be put onto the ships.
>>11655130The crazy thing to me is how Doug Chiang and his team did the designs for the sequels as well as rogue one, Mando etc. The latter have plenty of sovl designs but everything in the sequels is ugly and forgettable. What happened?
>>11655176Director asks designers to make designs.Designers make 50 different variations.Director picks what he thinks looks best.PS, the director has a thing for squinty eyes and no nose nostrilsPPS designers were told the spaceships have be slightly updated OT designs.So it's like hiring the best chefs in the world and telling them they're catering a party for a bunch of autists who only like oscar mayer hot dogs and mac and cheese
>>11655176abrams went out of his way to get ot looking designs because he wanted the movie to just be a nostalgia fest for anhhe's the primary reason for why the sequels turned out the way they did, before he got hired as director of tfa things were leaning more into what lucas envisioned for the sequelsjj threw almost all of that out, and then lied about it later

>>11654782>Nice AI paint job?
>>11654790Not even their own girlpla uses it.
>>11654024>>11654811Meh. Looks really janky to be honest and with how much of an oversized disappointment Gabimaru turned out to be this is an easy skip, especially at modern figma prices. To be fair, that rolled up sleeves look's hard to transfer into an action figure. Would be interested to see if they do any other characters besides the trio, though.
>>11655167At this point I forgot the names of the characters but surely the blind swordsman is the one with the best chance in S2. I would be happy with seeing Yuzu in the new outfit, or Gabimaru with a multitude of new effects.

I love him… I love him so much.
>>11652502Actually it's Darwin not Vulcan.Darwin basically is an albino Puerto Rican who can adapt to any attack made against him, making him neigh impossible to kill. He was part of a "lost" team of X-Men alongside Vulcan sent to rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa prior to the forming of the All New All Different X-Men, who only existed because Krakoa massacred Darwin's team. Darwin survived by merging with Vulcan and got extracted from him when Vulcan came back for revenge. He later then joined Xfactor for a bit before being forgotten.His biggest claim to fame was being on X-Men First Class where he was made a normal looking black man played by the guy who went on to play Mr Terrific in James Gunns Superman. The character is quickly killed off in First Class and the actor who played him is still salty as fuck that he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was black.
>>11653289Darwin dying from something he should have adapted to still makes me salty too, damn.
>>11653386>X-Men movie characters generally aren't as insanely OP as the comic characters>nobody really cares most of the time>introduce irrelevant Z-list character nobody ever cared about, with power of being hard to kill>Villain kills him anyway, to showcase how threatening he isI feel like nobody except the "everything in an adaptation must be 100% EXACTLY like the comics" turbo autists would even care if the actor wasn't black and tried to act like his character dying and staying dead was an act of discrimination against him.
>>11653289>he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was blackDefinitely couldn’t have been because he wasn’t Jennifer Lawrence it was 1000% because he’s a nigger.
What exactly is their strategy here? Are they purposely trying to tank themselves? Will they even exist in 5 years?

>>11655056Marvel LEgends was in the holy scale in the 00s too, you know.buuuut.... Hasbro kinda fucked it up. Tons of people were mad that Toy Biz gave up making Marvel Legends, since everyone loved them. When Hasbro took over, they completely fucked up the ML line by taking away paint apps, worse plastics, and raising prices. So people got SUPER PISSED and the line basically bombed on shelves, but that was aided by the 2008 economic collapse. So Hasbro started making Marvel figures in 1:18 at a lower price point, which brought in fans who generally collected 1:18 figures and eventually 1:12 fans were won over, especially when articulation was improved.In short, people aren't as anal as you want to believe.I think most people will buy a good toy if the price is fair, no matter the scale. This is why every decade basically has a dominant scale: 80s was 3.75". 90s was 5". 00s was 1:18. 10s was 1:12. 20s has been a mixed bag, since McFarlane made 1:10 popular with the DC line and various other companies shifted over to 1:18 after 1:12 lines didn't take (Fortnite, Halo) or weren't even started (Jurassic Park was always 1:18?).

Picked up the Brave Bike and really like it. Fully compatible with the Sisters line too. The upcoming Wild Bike version looks really nice too.

>>11654968No cracks on the cap as I can see, anon. I mixed up the contents with a plastic rod, I don't have anything like a ball bearing or mixing ball on me right now. I've also put a couple of new blotches and l'll see if they start separating as well. See, the paint fresh out of the bottle is OK, (two small blotches up top).
>>11654990Okay my best guess is that you have a fucked up bottle. As in the paint itself is screwed to be clear. I have not tried that with that particular color but I had a sand yellow (probably similar pigments?) exhibiting similar separation. The cap was cracked on it so I assumed something had cured at least partially on it when I tried to save it. Not the end of the world but obviously shit deal, is it the new or old bottle design? New bottled have a ring that breaks loose on the first opening, usually it's yellow. They've been making those for a couple of years now.
>>11654993I know what you are talking about. No ring like that was on my bottle.
That just happens with beige/yellow vallejo paint. I remember trying to brush paint a puma early on when I first started modelling. The german yellow would just separate and would turn green if you left it for a minute.
>>11655065This is very useful information for me. I'll try to grab some beige elsewhere. Maybe some other brand.

Post action figures you used to fetishize as a kid
I had an old Luke Skywalker action figure from ROTJ with the Jedi cloak. (The cloak was made from fabric, not plastic). That was my favorite action figure as a kid.
When I was a kid I had a crush on Jessie Bannon from Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, I got this figure of her from Pizza Hut and rubbed all the paint off her chest so it looked like her boobs were showing.
>>116545181983 Luke Jedi is my favorite original Star Wars figure too. Hasbro reissued him not long ago for the retro collection so you can still find a reasonably-priced one.
>>11654518Get a cheap retro reissue now while it's still cheap.
>>11654502>>11654486Funny I was going to mention the vipers. You are correct though.

>>11654739Collecting them now that it's dead is part of the appeal to me. You're not just going to a store and buying the new thing (that can be fun too don't get me wrong), but you're doing research on what you're buying, see who's selling, comparing prices, and the condition, maybe replacing parts. Getting someone's old collection and finding out something rare, even if incomplete is really fun. You can do more research on when they were made, what parts you can expect from that era, etc. Feels almost like paleontology/archeology for lego.Also the quality of bionicle slowly declined with each new set, so if you were collecting them as they were being released, you'll only get disappointed. But collection now that it's dead, you're going in the opposite direction. You'll easily find the newer, less quality ones for cheap, but getting the older ones is more difficult, so it's like you're digging deeper to get the rarest loot.And now your collection has value, since they are not being produced anymore, they are like old artifacts from a bygone era. While buying something new will feel like you're just consooming the thing.Reading and understanding a story that is old and done also is more appealing to me than following something that is still being written, again, sound's like you're doing archeology.Unfortunately it ends soon, now that I have most bionicle I want, I went deeper and started collecting old legos, but I'm not as enthusiastic about them, and they're a lot more expensive.If I was going to collect something that is still being made, I'd get into the halo megabloks sets, or gunpla.

>>11654716I’ve seen proper female rahkshi porn (aka of them like that) before, though the only real lore accurate one I saw that looked good was drawn by Trout
>>11654172I don't mind that they were new faces though. And while lore was minimal, I appreciated that they stood as their own. I wouldn't mind seeing them come back in the future, get a second chance. The change to making element no longer tied to male/female was also wise.
>>11655017>The change to making element no longer tied to male/female was also wise.While it's indeed nice, I understand why it was done in G1 in the first place. Since they didn't have the budget to give a different, more feminine shape to the Matoran like they did for Gali, they just made it so all the blue ones are female so that it's easier for kids to understand who is a girl
Does anyone know where can I buy an original body kun figure and not a cheap bootleg?
